The Gypsy Moths Reviews

---

I hated this silly movie
This glorified soap opera is a waste of a great cast. What other reviewers call "spare dialog" I call unnaturallly long pauses between phrases, especially on the part of Lancaster and Kerr.

The plot seems to revolve around how these professional skydivers are afraid to jump out of planes and sometimes forget to pull their rip cord (I kid you not).

There are some swell aerial scenes at the beginning and end, plus you get to see Deborah Kerr naked, but otherwise this movie is just awful.

Deborah Kerr naked

I have to agree with Charles Hall.

Fist of all a great cast like this deserves something better (much beter). This film is ok if you really don't have anything to do and are a fan of Kerr or Lancaster's.

I was mislead into watching this cuasi-movie, again, by the reviews. But who the heck is Frankenheimer? I just wanted to see if by chance (like when the donkey blows into a flute and a wonderful note comes out unexpectedly) a non-first rate director could produce a great movie. Let's give it a chance, I said.

And I watched the whole thing because after one hour I was still expecting something to get started. But no, the whole thing was really the story, not the warm up for the story!

So besides the cast, a nice photography and -I have to say it- Ms Kerr's naked scene there's nothing really told in this thing. Yes, by the end of the movie, I had a hint that the perpetrator of this movie had wanted to tell us something, but I am not sure if it had to do with skydiving, Edipo's complex, phetishism, or what. The funny thing is that there's always going to be people who like it because they have found out there's a message in it, and that skydiving is just a metaphor of it. Well, sure, but of what?

Consume at your own risk.
